\"\"<\/a>Nottingham\u2019s former IBF world title challenger Jason \u201c2Smooth\u201d Booth is looking forward to making his debut on Channel 5 this Saturday (18th February) when he enters the ring and challenges Sheffield\u2019s Kid Galahad for the WBC International Super Bantamweight title. \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to making my Channel 5 debut; I wish it had come 5 years earlier.\u201d said Booth<\/p>\n

The 12 round contests will be shown live and exclusive on Channel 5 from 9.55pm.<\/p>\n

Booth, who has also held the British and Commonwealth belts and fought for the European title three times in his 44 fight career, was apprehensive at first when he got the call from his manager but after thinking it through he decided to accept the fight. \u201cI was training hard before I got the call from my manager and at first I wasn\u2019t sure whether to take it or not as it was only 4 weeks\u2019 notice, but I was offered a good purse and the opportunity to fight live on Channel 5, so I couldn\u2019t turn it down and it was also a 12 round fight and I like 12 rounder\u2019s.\u201d explained Jason.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve watched a few of Kid Galahad\u2019s fights, He\u2019s is a good Brendan Ingle fighter who is an awkward switch hitter and he\u2019s known for being an elusive boxer, his team are writing me off, they think he can step up and beat me but I\u2019m quietly confident I can outwit him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou also have to question whether Galahad can go the full 12 rounds as he\u2019s only ever completed six.\u201d Added Jason.<\/p>\n

Booth, in contrast, has completed the championship course 13 times and as manager Jimmy Gill said: \u201cTitles are won in the last six rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
